what do you mean the red seats are not an option on the black ss's? seems like 90% of the current black ones have red seats.

My 2006 SS/SC does not have stage 2, but I have driven a few stage 2 Cobalt’s. To me, the turbo SS feels more powerful.

I know, I was surprised this won't be the case with the Turbo SS's

the wording was confusing, i thought he meant "as was the case with the supercharged ss," as in you couldnt get them then either

I know it releases this May 08', would everyone agree that they will make these next year May 09'?

I know there is rumor of redesign for 2010, so I was wondering if this style LNF balt is goin to run from 08-09, or 08-10?

The reason I ask. My smartbuy runs out May 15th 2009, I pray I can still order a brand new LNF then. Before any redesign, I love the way our SC/TC balts look!

Nice write up Jonel . I think its cool to hear they payed some attention to the driveabilty nags . And equally cool that they look on this site for feedback ....if they can sift thru all the people who cause their own problems and fail to realize that

I didnt know if navy blue would work on the Cobalt SS , but the Imperial Blue one looks really good . It would look so sick in that color with darker Bronze or Gunmetal Volk RE30's .

What about:
Shift feel
Power, is it faster?
What's better about traction?
How about fuel mileage?
Is it easier to launch, does it pull hard from a roll in 2nd gear..

come on man, the important stuff!
